them things are no joke..

Crank up the AC, that’ll slow him down enough to get a death ray on him. Lol

What is a monitor lizard exactly? Thing is huge. Are they native to Florida, or poisonous ?? 45/70 class critter by the looks of it. I thought those nasty kemody dragons were the only lizards bigger than your hand.

They are not poisonous Yukon. You can eat as many as you want.

I make most of my money selling food for animals like that.

What do you sell ?? Looks like that thing would need something the size of a small dog to fill it up.

They are some pretty nasty critters. They do in fact eat small dogs and pretty much anything the can get hold of. They are not native to Florida but the population is growing just like iguanas and big snakes.

Yeah but the bacteria in there bite will rot you from the inside out..

They are nothing to fool around with. But that is Florida. One more reason to carry.

That monitor is in Thailand . Monitors are a large style lizard that comes in several species throughout the islands in that part of the world, Asia , Australia, and the biggest , Komodo Dragons , of Indonesia. They can be small and live in trees to several sizes upscale in size, to the largest , too heavy to climb well.

They all have in common , the bacteria of their bite that infects their prey , eventually killing them in painful death , of which the Komodo is foremost .

For me, they all sport the perfect target circle for aim, the round earmark just behind the eyes. I have thought it fun someday to aim well with my 300 Weatherby on some Komodos, but alas, they are protected ....even though they have no fear of humans and will chase you in a heartbeat.

I would not do well at all living there....

The difference between poisonous and venomous is that you have to invest poison and inject venom. Thats why there are no poisonous snakes. You can eat all of them iff you cook them through. But some snakes are venomous and are harmful if you get bitten.

"Iheeya"; monitor lizard in Thai, also one of the worst insults you can call a person.
In the parks in Bang Kok instead of squirrels they have monitor lizards.

Jeff getting almost too close. They will wack you with their tail if given a chance, and it will lay you open. They are an extremely filthy, bacteria laden creature.

Not so fast, there are indeed poisonous snakes. Most notably the keelbacks of asia that produce and secrete toxins from their skin. They are actually dangerous to even touch as the toxins can be absorbed through skin.

Popular pet til they get too big

I hate those things would rather run into a poisonous snake or even several barefoot and butt naked

Had a couple close calls with the things while living in Thailand, it’s amazing just how much damage they can do to a house in short order, thankfully their not protected or at least weren’t when I was there

lots of double tapping

That would be a heck of a rodeo, things are all muscle with nails that will cut better then a razor and a tail that will act like a whip and cut like a saw blade, not to mention jaws filled with bacteria ridden saliva that will cause instant infection

And deceptively fast and agile, to see one walking with their slow deliberate pace they look slow but when they want to they can move faster then a man can run and whip around like a snake, and move through the water like a gator

They deserve a healthy dose of respect when dealing with them, definitely nothing to take chances with their or fool around without proper care and attention
